다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study attempted to reflect the traces of progress of home economics and to inquire further into a future direction for the advanced college-level home economics education.
The Study of college-level home economics today with the history of over one century in the world and near half of a century in Korea is now at the corner of transformation having palpable perception of the redical changes in such aspects as our pattern of life and structure of consciousness. At this situation the presentation of a new direction through extensive study in to home economics of Korea was required to lead it to meeting the pressing needs of rapidly changing society. with this purpose in mind materials were gathered through various method like inquiry of literature related, interview with the home economists, and the questionnaire. The results extracted from this attempt are as follows:
1. Aa a result of steady growth for almost one hundred years the territory of home economics, of which main focus was only on the individual and home life in the early days of its advancement, is now in the general tendency of expansion to the level of welfare of whole human being throughout the world.
2. The education of home economics in a true sense could not be realized on account of conservatism such as Confucianism before the Japanese annexation of Korea, and the effacement policy of Korean traditional culture under the Japanese colonial rule. After the restoration of the capital and social stability in the later years of 1950s', home economics in korea under the profound American influence has made rapid progress with the sending of students abroad, the frequent exchange of academical persons with foreign universities and with the increase in the number of colleges and in the population of studying it.
3. Observing the present situation of the college education of home economics, succeeding points should be put forward. First, it is reasonable to increase the statutory number of students according to the educational capacity of respective colleges. Second, the high school teacher appointment system now in force is impeditive to the participle of the competent teachers of private universities. Hence, once they are given the qualification, the employment of teachers based on the strict ability first principle without any discrimination in what colleges they are graduated from, national or private, ordinary or teacher's college, would be desirable for the national education. Third, under the present system the students of the department of fashion design, are conferred, when they graduate, the bachelor of home economics and the qualification for high school home economics teacher, whereas they apply at the preliminary exam for college for the arts division and complete the art course curriculum in the college. The practice of a proper policy to remove this contradictory disparity between the curriculum accomplished and the nature of degree obtained is immediately required. Fourth, the sincere educational attitude and unceasing posture of strenuous study of professors themselves, the effort for the acquisition of higher degrees by professors, and the reinforcement of the faculty in proportion to the number of students are demanded.
4. Estimating the education of home economics in Korea from the educational view-point, it is to be criticized for the lack of educational philosophy, for being stolid of studies, it gives an impression that the preponderance was bestowed on natural science. And there needs more active work of studying as books, facilities and the supply of research fund are in a very insufficient state. In the aspect of social service, the growth of home economics seems retarded by failing to open the concrete way for serving the community.
5. The trend in America to changing the name of college of home economics may as well not be considered in this stage since nothing has been changed till now in the fundamental idea or the kernel of home economics. It seems certain that the sudden change in the name would bring no result but generating a confusion.
6. Home economics of modern society must convey the new information and knowledge useful for living to the whole society effectively through publicity, and the active participation of the home economics majoring students in framing and bringing out this program for publicity is required.
